PENTICTON, B.C. — Some of Josh Healey’s greatest hits have racked up thousands of video views on YouTube. And yes, the 23-year-old defenceman has helped to occasionally pad those stats. “I’ve seen a few,” Healey admitted with a wry grin. “It’s fun to see. I enjoy it. “Self-hype, some guys call it.” If you’re a […]

At a critical juncture in the closed-door talks between the Flames and the city over a new rink, it is bombast like Brian Burke’s that will help ensure relocation. The timing of his comments couldn’t have been worse.

There are pictures in the Nylander household of Alexander and his older brother William in the Scotiabank Saddledome dressing room as toddlers. They were both born in Calgary. William, now a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs organization, took his first steps on an outdoor rink in Banff, which was caught on home video. Alexander was […]

Glen Gulutzan is getting the white-hat treatment. Welcome to Calgary, Coach. After a six-plus week search, the Calgary Flames officially announced Friday that the 44-year-old Gulutzan — a former bench boss for the Dallas Stars and an assistant coach for the Vancouver Canucks for the past three campaigns — has been hired as the 16th […]

Edmonton – The hero looked at the fireman’s hat hanging in his stall, then back out at reporters. “I have to, right?” Yes, Michael Frolik was told, you have to put on the headgear. So, smiling, he tugged on the hat, which, after wins, goes to the Calgary Flames’ in-house man of the match. On this […]

The not-so-long-ago kings of high drama are trying their hand at low comedy. The only thing missing Tuesday was the Benny Hill Yakety Sax theme music. “We gave up I don’t know many point-blank chances from in the front of the net,” said a sombre Matt Stajan. “We’re not working the way we need to. […]

It’s been years in the making, a legitimate Battle of Alberta to drum up memories of a time not so long ago. The hope had been that, with Taylor Hall’s presence, things would change. No, with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ presence, things would change. No, really, with Nail Yakupov’s presence things would change. Connor McDavid’s presence. Surely […]

Want to get a true measure of the night’s proceedings? Of the disparity? Throw out the opening 20 minutes — during which the Calgary Flames enjoyed four unanswered power-play opportunities — and take a gander at that second period. “It showed the real game,” said Dougie Hamilton. “We were kind of just chasing the puck around. It’s […]

The Calgary Flames organization wants to build an ambitious $890-million hockey arena and events centre, as well as a football stadium with a roof on property west of downtown, the club officially announced on Tuesday.

Cole Ully didn’t let a summer snub slow him down. Ully wasn’t among the 41 players who were invited to Canada’s national junior team summer development camp Aug. 3-8 in Brossard, Montreal and Sherbrooke, Que. That didn’t deter the 19-year-old Calgarian from training hard in the off-season prior to his fourth season with the Kamloops […]

Fans of the Calgary Hitmen will remember Landon Welykholowa for bursting onto the scene with four goals in five playoff games last year. Astute Hitmen supporters may even recall that Welykholowa led Calgary in pre-season scoring with three goals and four assists in five games. Heading into the regular season, the five-foot-eight, 182-pound forward seemed […]

Tim Hunter would have liked nothing more than to win his Western Hockey League coaching debut at the Scotiabank Saddledome last Friday. Unfortunately for Hunter, his Moose Jaw Warriors were unable to build upon 1-0 and 2-1 leads and ultimately suffered a 5-2 setback to the Calgary Hitmen. “We just stubbed our toe in the […]

Trimmed neatly in marble and granite, surrounded by palm trees, this building is welcoming, not threatening. Other rinks have signs forbidding guns and knives. This venue? Once upon a time, visitors to the press box were greeted by this edict: “No cut-offs. No flip-flops.” So hardly a gritty joint — unless you include beach sand. Mere minutes to the west? The Happiest […]
